are clearer about the Comparatives and Superlatives. Asnwer
the following questions:
A. What did you remember the Comparatives and Superlatives about?
B. Could you write ten english examples where you use the Comparative and Superlative Adjectives?

2. Comparatives and Superlatives: Definition, Examples, & Exercises.

A Comparative Adjective is a word that describes a noun by comparing it to another noun. Comparative
adjectives typically end in 'er' and are followed by the word 'than'. A Superlative Adjective is a word that
describes a noun by comparing it to two or more nouns to the highest or lowest degree.
In this worksheet we’ll review what comparatives and superlatives are, the rules for how to form these
adjectives the correct way, and how to use them effectively in a sentence.
What is a Comparative?

Comparative Adjectives are words used to describe a noun by comparing it to another noun. We usually think
of ‘er’ words like bigger or smaller, but they can be a little trickier than that.

The way we form comparative adjectives is based on the number of syllables in the adjective and whether or
not the adjective ends with the letter ‘y’.
What is a Superlative?

Superlative Adjectives are words used to describe a noun when comparing it to two or more nouns to the
highest or lowest degree. Think: big, bigger, biggest, or small, smaller, smallest.

Like with comparative adjectives, it’s not always as simple as adding ‘est’. The number of syllables and whether
or not the adjective ends with the letter ‘y’ also help us determine how to form a superlative adjective.
One Syllable Adjectives

Let’s look at a chart showing the comparative and superlative forms of the word for the most basic one
syllable adjectives, where we add ‘er’ for the comparative and ‘est’ for the superlative. *Note: when the
adjective follows the CVC, or consonant, vowel, consonant spelling, the final consonant is doubled.
ADJECTIVE COMPARATIVE SUPERLATIVE
Big Bigger Biggest
Tall Taller Tallest
Small Smaller Smallest
Hot Hotter Hottest

Comparative Adjectives:
● I am faster than my friend.
 ● Arizona is hotter than Alaska.
Superlative Adjectives:
● She is the tallest student.
● That was the shortest movie in the series.
Notice the other words around the comparative and superlative adjectives. Most comparatives are followed
by ‘than’, and most superlatives follow the word ‘the’.

Two Syllable Adjectives

Now let’s look at a chart showing the comparative and superlative forms of the word for adjectives with two
syllables. Comparative adjectives with two syllables can be formed by making the ‘er’ ending or by adding
the words ‘more’ or ‘less’ before the adjective.

For superlative adjectives, you make the ‘est’ ending but use the word ‘most’ or ‘least’ instead of ‘more’ or
‘less’.

ADJECTIVE COMPARATIVE SUPERLATIVE

Happy Happier Happiest
Crazy Crazier Craziest
Nervous More/Less Nervous Most/Least Nervous
massive More/Less Massive Most/Least Massive
Quiet Quieter orMore/Less Quiet. Quietest or Most/Least Quiet.

*Note: In many cases, either form of the comparative or superlative can be used, but there is generally a ‘most
common’ usage. Additionally, the adjective does not need to end in ‘y’ in order to use the ‘er’ or ‘est’ usage, as
the last example in the table shows. Your ear will often be able to recognize what sounds best.
Comparative Adjectives:
● She tends to be less passive than her brother.
● This quiz is simpler than the last one.
Superlative Adjectives:
● Fall is the busiest shopping season.
● This is the most rapid method of delivery.
Notice again how the comparative adjectives are followed by ‘than’, and superlative adjectives follow the
word ‘the’.

Three or More Syllable Adjectives

The chart below shows the comparative and superlative forms of the word for adjectives that are three or
more syllables long. In these cases, we always add ‘more’ or ‘less’ before a comparative adjective and ‘most’
or ‘least’ before a superlative adjective.

ADJECTIVE COMPARATIVE SUPERLATIVE

Mysterious More/Less Mysterious Most/Least Mysterious
Complicated More/Less Complicated Most/Least Complicated
Wonderful More/Less Wonderful Most/Least Wonderful

Comparative Adjectives:
● I tend to be more reluctant than my friends when trying new things.
● The noise at the pool was less bothersome than the noise on the beach.
Superlative Adjectives:
● Her second compilation was the most exceptional of them all.
● Those were the least comfortable couches I have ever sat on.

Irregular Adjectives
When using comparative and superlative adjectives, it is important to note that there are a handful
of irregular adjectives that don’t follow the rules above. The chart below shows these irregular adjectives
along with their comparative and superlative forms.

ADJECTIVES COMPARATIVE SUPERLATIVE

Good Better Best
Bad Worse Worst
Little (Amount) Less Least
Far (Distance) Farther Farthest
Far (Extent) Further Furthest
Many or Much More Most

Comparative Adjectives:
● I did better than the rest of my class on the final.
● She ran farther in this race than she did in the last one.
Superlative Adjectives:
● That was the best birthday present ever!
● I bought the least expensive souvenir that I could find.
● Connector of Cause and Effect

Connector of Cause and Effect

Now, it is time to use the Connector of Cause and Effect. Do you remember what are them? Check the following
website to get a closer idea about them.
